Dennis Ferrer has an exquisite track record as producer and remixer. Countless hits and club anthems to his name, not to mention a very special decade-long relationship with ourselves.

Outside of his own imprint Objektivity, Defected has provided a home to some of Ferrer’s biggest hits as well as a platform to many of his explosive DJ sets, like the one he recently played at Defected Croatia Festival 2016. So who better to do the honours for the label’s momentous 500th release, or 'DFTD500' than Dennis Ferrer. We are proud to have reached 500 releases, and we can't think of anyone better to deliver a moment that will live in the memory for years to come.

Dennis Ferrer: "Defected has provided me with a base of support throughout the years that is pretty much immeasurable in its worth. I've benefited greatly from the hard working staff breaking records and Simon's constant vigil in providing the fan base with quality dance records throughout the years. I truly believe that Defected's contribution to the history of dance music has been cemented with the 500th release and to this I tip my hat... for I am not only a contributor, but also a fan. Congratulations are in order."
